If building a new Guest with "xen-create-image" Xen will take care of everything. I can ping the new Guest on either hostname or IP address.

Re: How to set "print PDF" work (SOLVED)
Hi Roberto, I got my problem solved as follows; On browser http://localhost:631 -> Add Printer -> Add New Printer Filling in; Name: PDF_Printer Location: Local Description: blank -> Continue -> Select "Virtual Printer (PDF Printer)" -> Continue -> Browse ... -> File Upload; /usr/share/ppd/cups-pdf/PostscriptColor.ppd -> Open That is all. Now I can print .pdf files. The only drawback is I can't add a filename before clicking "Print". The file is saved on /home/user/PDF/__.pdf. I must change the filename afterwards.

Re: Installation problem
Hi Thierry, > I dont really follow your problem: if you managed to make a > netinstall, > then you lan was detected at install time, and you dont need to do > anything more to connect to your net. Pls explain more what is > happening. I ran "debian-31r0a-amd64-netinst" CD installer to install Debian. It went through without much problem except failing detecting the onboard LAN. I tried some drivers on the list without result. On reboot it booted to login screen, a black screen. I think it is on Runlevel 3. After login as "root" I issued "startx". X window failed to start. Then I continue to run; # pppoeconf trying to connect broadband to run apt-get downloading the rest components. It popup a window requesting to execute "modconf" to detect LAN card driver. On clicking [OK] it did not response. Therefore I closed the window and ran; # modconf on the black screen. It also did not response on hitting [Return]. That was my problem. Tks. B.R.

How to setup ADSL broadband connection
Hi folks, Debian-Testing-amd64-netinst.iso How to make ADSL broadband connnection. Now I have a PCI ethernet installed, not to use the onboard LAN # dmesg | grep eth eth0: RealTel RTL8139 at 0xc2002c00, 00:50:fc:6c:70:f7, IRQ5 eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139C' * * * end * * * To my surprise I failed to mount floppy. Its entry is already on /etc/fstab; .. /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 * end * Therefore I have to copy the output by hand. # lspci -bash: lspci: command not found. # uame -a Linux debian 2.6.16-2-amd64-generic #1 Sun Jul 16 01:12:23 CEST 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux * * * end * * * I tried to run; # pppoeconf # adsl-setup etc. Non of them can work debian, this version. The PC is connected to a ADSL modem, only dynamic IP supplied. Please advise which command shall I run to make connection. Afterwards what command shall I run to download and install the remaining packages? Can I select packages to download? TIA B.R.

Re: How to setup ADSL broadband connection
Hi George, Tks for your advice. My problem is the PC is completely cut out of connection to Internet. # aptitude install pciutils had no effect. I found; /media/cdrom0/pool/main/p/pciutils/pciutils-udeb_2.2.1-2_amd64.udeb the file there. Would this is the right package? If YES, how to get it installed. TIA B.R.

We already know mysqladmin coming from mysql-server/-client. Therefore we can add mysql on the search. In some other case if we have no idea of the package. We only know the command/file. How can we find the package? "apt-cache search command/file" doesn't always work. B.R.

Problem on receiving mails
Hi folks,

The mail server can send mails via telnet but unable to receive mails.
All mails sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] were rejected.

Your advice works on Unix mailbox but NOT on virtual domain. I just added "mail.satimis.com" there to check. So you read it on my previous posting. Adding it there doesn't help. I'll remove it. B.R.

Hi Bob, You're correct. 2 days ago I changed the MX records from "mail" to "xen5" testing another mail server running as guest on this Xen box. That server runs Unix mailbox. It can send/receive mails w/o problem with recepient address to [EMAIL PROTECTED] But I need adding "satimis.com" to mydestination. About 1/2 hours ago I finished setup this mail server running virtual domain, also as guest on this Xen box. I changed MX to "xen01" matching its hostname. I'll change MX back to "mail" to see what will happen. Thanks B.R.

This is a Xen box (virtualization) all servers are running on domU (guest). I have only one external IP. The local IPs of the host and guest are as follows; Host 192.168.0.110 guest_1 192.168.0.201 (xen01.satimis.com) guest_2 192.168.0.202 (xen02.satimis.com) All ports 25,80,143,443,etc.are now forwarded to 192.168.0.201 (guest_1). That is the network setup here. For Unix mailbox there is no problem on send and receive mails. B.R.

I'm building "postfix virtual" mail server. Previouls I have been following 3 howtos building "postfix virtual" mail server. After finish non of the server can work. Now I'm following "Postfix Virtual"; http://www.postfixvirtual.net/ to go 4th round. This howto starts installing packages on their tarballs. I 'm prepared following all steps there. Do I need installing gcc, perl5, etc. ? Thanks B.R.

How to start chroot BIND automatically at boot
Hi folks, Debian Etch bind-9.5.0 compiled on source chrooted Which file I have to edit adding; /etc/init.d/bind9 start so bind9 will start automatically at boot. # ls /etc/ | grep rc bash.bashrc inputrc nanorc rc.local rc0.d rc1.d rc2.d rc3.d rc4.d rc5.d rc6.d rcS.d wgetrc rc.local ?

Hi Andrei, Thanks for your advice. I'm following the guide of Postfix Virtual to build a mail server; http://www.postfixvirtual.net/dnsbind.html# It compiles all packages from source.

According to the guide it runs; #/usr/local/bind/sbin/named -u named -t /usr/local/bind -c /etc/named.conf to start bind9 I'll put; /usr/local/bind/sbin/named -u named -t /usr/local/bind -c /etc/named.conf on rc.local # ls /etc/init.d/ | grep bind9 No printout. The official script is not installed because I installed bind9 from source, I suppose. Thanks B.R.

That is what I'm trying to do. I have the database maildb created
To run following commands on mysql to create further new domain:-
INSERT INTO domains (domain) VALUES ('domain.tld');
INSERT INTO aliases (mail,destination) VALUES
('@domain.tld','[EMAIL PROTECTED]'),
('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','[EMAIL PROTECTED]'),
('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
To run following commands on mysql to add further new user to the
system;_
INSERT INTO users (id,name,maildir,clear) VALUES
('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','short description','foldername/','password');
INSERT INTO aliases (mail,destination) VALUES
('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
I have run following commands previously to create the 1st domain on
this box:-
mysql> INSERT INTO aliases (mail,destination) VALUES
-> ('@satimis.com.tld','[EMAIL PROTECTED]'),
-> ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','[EMAIL PROTECTED]'),
-> ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
To add the first new user to the system
mysql> INSERT INTO users (id,name,maildir,clear) VALUES
-> ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','Stephen','Stephen/','x05satimis');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> INSERT INTO aliases (mail,destination) VALUES
-> ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
But I can't find the folder 'Stephen/'
I don't know why?
Besides I haven't figured out how to edit main.cf directing the
incoming mails to their respective folders. Advice would be
appreciated. TIA

No, I don't have large number of domains/users. This is only a test.
I'm trying to learn how to make it through test.

What I'm trying to build is a mail server running postfix virtual having multiple domains. Each domain has its own users. This is a test only enable me to learn how to build it. This mail server is running as guest on a Xen box which is also for testing purpose. There are several guests built on this Xen box. All of them are mail servers, either working or not finished building yet. But they are not running without being started, just sitting there. They can be started running simultaneously. What I'm trying to achieve is; 1) to have several domains installed on this mail server, each domain having its own users 2) data of domains and their users are retain on maildb running on mysql 3) all outg

Problem on slow keystroke response - guest on Xen box
Hi folks, Host - Debian Etch Guests - Debian Etch. Performed following steps to create duplicate guest, a mail server. 1) # cp /etc/xen/guest-1.cfg /etc/xen/guest-2.cfg edit guest-2.cfg changing the settings of:- disk = ['file:/vserver/domains/guest-2_directory/disk.img,hda1,w', 'file:/vserver/domains/guest-2_directory/swap.img,hda2,w'] # Hostname name = 'guest-2_hostname' # Networking vif = ['ip=guest-2_localIP, mac=00:16:3E:C2:AA:77'] 2) # mkdir /vserver/domains/guest-2_directory # cp /vserver/domains/guest-1_directory/disk.img /vserver/domains/guest-2_directory/ # cp /vserver/domains/guest-1_directory/swap.img /vserver/domains/guest-2_directory/ 3) Start guest-2 and login with password of guest-1 Edit /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname, /etc/network/interfaces, root_password, user_passwords, etc. 4) Restart guest-2 and login with new data. The new mail server, guest-2, is working. But occasionally I found running both guest-1 and guest-2 simultaneously slow response to keystroke will occur on either of them. I have to sit back and wait. Please advise where shall I check and how to fix this problem? TIA Besides, is there a better way to clone a guest on the same Xen box? B.R.

Hi folks, Host - Debian Etch Workstation Guest01 - mail server for routing Guest02 - mail server, hostname01. localIP01, domain01 Guest03 - mail server, hostname02, localIP02, domain02 Guest04 - mail server, hostname03, localIP02, domain03 etc. all mail servers running postfix as MTA on Debian Etch. single (one) external IP with all ports forwarded to Guest01 except port 53 which is forwarded to the DNS server, also running on a guest of the Xen box. Guest01 routes all incoming mails according to their domains to respective mail servers. All outgoing mails are sent via the routing mail server, Guest01, to Internet. The system is working nicely on Intranet. Mail client, Evolution, on workstations connected to local network, the Intranet, can send/receive mails on the mail servers. Server settings on mail client work on either local IP or on hostname. My question is if the workstation is on remote site, not on local network. What will be the server settings on the mail client. If on external IP how can the remote mail client find the mail server which it needs to connect. Please shed me some light. TIA B.R.

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your advice.
This mail server is running on a Xen box as guest. The host is a
Debian Etch workstation. I also ran "aptitute update/upgrade" on the
host. This is no problem afterwards up to now.
I found a solution, maybe a temporary one as follow;
Edited /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
adding a line "PhishingScanURLs no" to the end of the file. Rebooted
the guest, the mail server, then problem gone.
Performed following test;
Delete the the above line on /etc/clamav/clamd.conf

Hi Robert, Whether you meant starting "text mode"/"init 3" at boot whenever you need but not permanently. If "YES" I did it frequently about 5~6 years ago. The steps are as follows; 1. Boot your computer into GRUB 2. Highlight the most recent kernel on the list (if having several kernels) 3. Press "e" key to edit the commands for that kernel before booting. 4. On the next screen, highlight the line that says "kernel /vmlinuz..." and press the "e" key again. 5. At the END of the line of " grub edit > kernel /vmlinuz..." hit the space bar once (to get a space before typing) and type "init 3"/"3" (without the quotation marks) and then press "enter" key. 6. You should now be back at the previous screen having "init 3"/"3" at the end of the line. Now press the "b" key to boot into text mode! # starx (If login as ROOT start GUI as ROOT. Just tries to starts x, regardless of runlevel) Sorry I'm not working on Debian replying your posting. I can't check the above steps for you which I dig out from my database. HTH B.R.

I ran Highpoint RAID card 7~8 years ago. It was termed as Software RAID dislike Adaptec RAID card. The latter is termed as Hardware RAID card but very expensive. It worked without problem. Later I found not much advantage on running RAID. Therefore I ceased running RAID anymore. I don't run Windows either. I can find the replacement on almost all proprietary software running on Windows. What I can't find is the Windows java engine on IE. Some stupid websites still request visitors running Windows IE to browse their sites. B.R.
